There’s a first time for everything. First meal, first dance at the prom, first love. And also, first injury… yikes. No wait, we ain’t talking about kids or any normal human here. It’s the Three-Point God, Stephen Curry. Ruled out of Game 2 with a Grade 1 hamstring strain, his absence from the starting lineup has left a gap in Steve Kerr’s strategies. Meanwhile, Curry has opened up about his experience and feelings over the past few days with the media.
Let’s begin at the beginning. Stephen Curry endured significant ankle problems in both 2012 and 2018, which hindered his progress throughout his impressive 16-year career. While he has also dealt with other injuries such as those affecting his knee and arm, hamstrings were new territory for him. Therefore, when addressing reporters during Thursday’s practice session at Target Center, he opened up about this development.
This is uncharted territory for me, but based on everything I’ve gathered or am currently understanding regarding your rapid recovery potential, there must be a natural healing phase involved. The human body functions this way; you cannot expedite the process beyond what it indicates naturally. Thus, after seven days, daily reassessment will help determine when it might be feasible merely to consider returning to play, not to mention gauging how intensively you should engage.
In short, Steph wasn’t present to train and potentially aggravate his injury; rather, he came to boost his teammates’ spirits. The reporter then questioned whether he had ever faced a hamstring issue previously, felt any tightness, or encountered something comparable.
No, that’s the initial one,
the 37-year-old confirmed.

“Eventually, there will be conversations”
regarding his preparedness to come back
I’m definitely not near that point at present. I’m taking my time with it… I understand how deceptive hamstring injuries can be, as they might lead you to believe they’re fully recovered even when you don’t experience any discomfort.
Well, someone who’s never had a hamstring injury could find it tricky to deal with one. In addition, rushing the healing process could lead to further complications. So, Curry isn’t in any mood to do anything that would jeopardize the remaining games. Curry is ruled out for a week, after which he’ll be further re-evaluated. Most importantly, Steph’s optimism and smile despite the concerning health update feel like a small relief, don’t they?
The MRI results for Stephen Curry shattered dreams across the Bay Area.
The
Golden State Warriors
face a daunting challenge as Stephen Curry is set to miss the next three games of the playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves. An MRI after Game 1 confirmed a left hamstring strain, forcing Curry to exit in the second quarter. He had already scored 13 points in 13 minutes, giving his team an early edge. Yet the Warriors didn’t flinch. They rallied to a solid 99 to 88 win, proving they can survive the storm.
Each year during the playoffs, it’s all about adjusting, be it to a strategy, dealing with injuries, or changing the team roster, hence we must adapt,
said Steve Kerr.
Still, questions loom. This is Steph Curry’s first major hamstring setback, and fans now wonder how long he’ll be out. But history leans in Golden State’s favor. They’ve done this before. Without him, the Warriors went 9- 3 in the playoffs in 2016 and 2018 and even won the championship. Confidence remains high.
“We think we have the best defense in the league, and that’s been proven over the last couple of months,”
Kerr added. The next chapter begins, and the Warriors must once again prove their championship DNA.
Thus, Stephen Curry may be down, but the Warriors are far from out. His honesty, patience, and presence still fuel belief in the Bay. Though this hamstring strain is a first, Steph knows better than to rush a comeback. Meanwhile, the team adapts and marches on. They have done it before. So as Curry heals, the Warriors fight.
